Most mail-reading interfaces that I'm familiar with support a command
that sends the message to a user-specified command or pipe.  I use this
to spool the message to a printer and to pipe it through a paginator
when it's scrolling too fast to read otherwise.

Some mail-reading interfaces have an option (usually specified in a file
such as .mailrc in your home directory) that enables pagination by the
mail-reading interface itself.  Check your manual..
